Women in Agony

Women in Agony, Oxford Circus, June 2015
Directed by: Eliza Soroga
This performance makes a comment on how fashion industries makes people feel the need to be unique and special but they end up looking exactly the same.
It is comment on urban alienation, neurosis, uniformity and consumerism. Sixteen women gathered in the middle of the pavement amongst fashion victims in rush hour and simultaneously screamed in the Europe's most commercial street, Oxford Circus.
